    Appetitive nappers, who nap for psychological reasons, and replacement nappers, who nap due to sleep deficits, show distinct sleep patterns compared to non-nappers.

    Area of Science:

    • Sleep Science
    • Behavioral Neuroscience
    • Psychology

    Background:

    • Napping behaviors vary among individuals.
    • Understanding the physiological and psychological drivers of napping is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the electroencephalographic (EEG) and subjective differences in afternoon naps between habitual appetitive nappers and replacement nappers.
    • To compare these nap types with those of confirmed non-nappers.

    Main Methods:

    • Recruited three groups: habitual appetitive nappers (n=11), replacement nappers (n=10), and non-nappers (n=12).
    • Collected subjective, behavioral, and electroencephalographic (EEG) data during afternoon naps.
    • Analyzed sleep stages and characteristics across the groups.

    Main Results:

    • Consistent differences in subjective, behavioral, and EEG sleep-stage patterns were observed between appetitive and replacement nappers.
    • Both napping groups exhibited distinct sleep characteristics when compared to non-nappers.

    Conclusions:

    • Habitual appetitive napping and replacement napping represent distinct physiological and psychological phenomena.
    • Sleep patterns during naps differ significantly based on the underlying motivation for napping.
